Aaarrrgh! I did expect that all the news about surveillance don’t have a big impact on the election in Germany. But the result is somewhat frustrating! Almost 50% of the public have chosen the Capitalistic Dictatorial sUrveillance party (CDU). Yes, Germany is very healthy, at least under financial aspects. But is that all? Is the only important think in life to get more and more money? In case we would measure political success by happiness of the public, we would not see the CDU under the top performers…

And what does all this mean for the surveillance system? There is no Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger any more. She did stop the data preservation. The doors are open for more surveillance…
